Raider Application - Monk (DPS) - Fabulousfu (XR)

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

I am applying for the main raid.

Character: Fabulousfu
Server: Auchindoun
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Auchindoun/Fabulousfu/advanced
Class/Spec: Monk (DPS)
Member Type: raider

Personal Info:

Daniel B. Hansen i'm 24 and live in Denmark.
I start started a Master degree in Media Technology at Aalborg University,
with focus on Interaction. In my free time i spend most of my time at the PC,
playing games such as WoW, Runescape or Hearthstone, however i enjoy Web development
so i do small web projects, coding in HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/SQL.

Before i go on, i took a break since my last guild stopped raiding, the reason was lack of
leadership. As we had no one that wanted to lead the guild, but people forced into the role
which lead to an inevitable defeat of the guild. We managed to get 3/9M however i saw the opituinity
to take a break, but now trying to come back and leaving my faction and server behind.

Class/Spec:

I player Windwalker monk as my main spec, i like the playstyle when you have to
find the flow in your rotation, never to double tab an ability.
My offspec is tank which is somewhat up to date, i did tank a few mythic ToS bosses.
You should never let me play Mistweaver monk like NEVAH

I haven't looked into the 7.3 changes yet, but in 7.2.5 i played with serenity for single target
fights and WDP for 3+ target fights.
Openers:
This rotation required 10% haste or BL and T20 4pc + T19 2pc to get the 4th RSK
Serenity, TP -> ToD -> Serenity -> SoTW -> FoF -> RSK -> FoF -> RSK -> FoF -> RSK -> FoF -> RSK
WoD, TP -> ToD -> SoTW -> Elixir -> FoF -> RSK -> WoD -> TP -> RSK -> FoF

For legendaries i use:
Drinking Horn Cover because they're the all time best since release.
Katsuo's Eclipse because they make the rotation smoother.

Stats:
Mostly focus on my Serenity talent, since this is what i play the most.
The 4+2pc was neccessary for the rotation mentioned above, it allows for a lot
more RSK. RSK became i nr. 1 damage when this release.
Stats:
40% mastery
10% haste
8% versatility
35% critical
This may vary depending on the gear i have, but should be around the numbers mentioned.
The 35% crit works well with the new T20 4pc and the 10% haste is for a good serenity phase.

Alts:

None really, i never bothered in Legion to gear my alts.

Professions:

Enchanting, Inscription
with almost 3 stars in everything, but nothing special

Raiding Experience:

Up until Legion it has bouncing up and down, some expansions i did hardcore content and some i took
it very casual. In Warlords of Draenor i managed to kill HFC 13/13M after nerf, pugging with people
from Openraid.zergid.com.

In legion i started a guild with my friends, and has been raiding with until now when we broke up, as
mentioned in the beginning. Our progress looks like this:
EN 7/7M
ToV 1/3M
NH 9/10M
ToS 3/9M
Through our progress i played both DPS and TANK, whatever the raid group needed.
However i lean more to playing DPS if i should choose one.

Previous Guilds:

Pandaria:
I played in Aegis, joining some of my RL friends in the semi-hardcore guild.
The guild had some troubles communicating and people got mad at each other, as we didn't
have a friendly atmosphere. This resulted in a lot of members left the guild and we're
unable to raid. So i made the decision to leave, this was in the early tiers of Warlords.


Warlords of Draenor:
I left Aegis but i didn't look for a guild and played "solo" for the most of this expantion.
So i started using OpenRaid to do get some raid progress, most of my raid was with Aria's raid
events. Just before the Legion released i joined Døgnfluen as a casual raider.

Legion:
When Emerald Nightmare was released the hardcore raid group in Døgnfluen, started a new
International guild to improve the mythic roster. I was a part of this decision as we're
at a disadvange, for being a danish guild on a low populated server.
Since then i have been a raider, officer and raid leader in Memento.

Availability:

Almost all day on discord.
Monday from 17-19:00 i teach basic programming to Elementary kids, im still able to attend raid monday
I will most likely have lectures during the day from 8-16:00 but as mentioned i'll be available on discord.


Communication:

I would say so. My native language is Danish, but my University study is English.
This has improved my English communication a lot, so i can both listen and talk on TS3.
I might not say much in the beginning due to me being shy, but that will definitely get better over time.

Computer / Connection:

Everything works fine, i've had 1-2 problems over the last 2 years, and never lasted more than
12 hours.

Addons/UI:

Dominion
Details
Shadow unit frames
RClootCouncil
WeakAura2
Simulationcraft
Omen
Quartz
BigWigs

BigWigs for boss timers, using WA2 to show specific boss debuff/buffs to get better visuals
during the encounter. Simulationcraft to optimize my character as i do my own simulation.
Dominion for bar setup and Shadow unit frames for unit frames setup.

Other Games:

Runescape 3
Heroes of the storm
Hearthstone
Pokemon all generations (currently Pokemon yellow)

Why Iron Edge?

You seem like a good fit for me, as i'm looking for a semi-hardcore guild with a good atmosphere.
You have the progression i'm looking for without being too hardcore, but still able to complete the
current content.


What can I offer Iron Edge?

A loyal and friendly member, i try to help where i can. I'll do my best to optimize my character
both from raid and M+. I like to do achievement farming or m+, play other games if people like.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge?

I chose to change realm to KAZZAK and look at the different guild description, and found your guild.

Last Words?

Currently i'm still on Auchindoun, but will transfer before next reset.
I hope you will consider me.
Thanks for reading my application, have a nice day

Hi there!

Thank you for your application, we'll get back to you shortly. I don't remember if it was a good or a bad thing to have Danes that aren't from Copenhagen. Our Danes are very tribal about that sort of thing.

Hi faboulousfu,

Nice application, but it's also very gross, I mean you're a monk, who's danish, who's been in a danish only guild. You kinda hit the gross trifactor smack on with that.

My question is, do you have any logs that the officers can scan over? You know, to make sure you do what the rest of us melee do, stand in fires and yell at the healers for letting us die.

Good luck on the apply

Here are logs from my ToS N/HC/M runs

Fortunately we just had a Demon Hunter step out of the raid and you seem to be a very qualified candidate to replace him on our team. So I would like to offer you a trial. We have a forum post explaining the details of raiding with us here. Please read it carefully.

In case you haven't noticed yet, we have a bit of a guildmeme of making fun of Danish people. But not to worry, we treat all European nationalities with equally extreme prejudice.

Welcome!
